The Honey Club

Every delivery brings honeys you've never tasted before — and probably never will again.

That's not a sales line, it's just how honeys from small scale beekeepers are. Our beekeepers spin the honey straight from the frame, run it through a sieve, and that's it. No processing, no heating, no blending. Which means every jar is a direct expression of the time of year, the landscape around the hive, and the particular combination of flowers those bees visited. All our honeys are small batch limited editions - some the bees made no more than 50 jars of!

Each month we select two different limited edition honeys to send out, chosen from beekeepers we've visited and know personally. On every jar: the beekeeper's name, where their hives are, when the honey was taken off, and how many jars that harvest produced. The stories behind each honey travel with it.

Wonderful for curious children, grandparents who have all they really need, partners with a sweet tooth, and anyone who genuinely loves the natural world.

Our subscribers — of all ages — tend to say the same thing: opening the box is the best bit.

About our beekeepers

We visit every beekeeper before we work with them — to meet the bees, see the landscape, and understand what makes each honey. All of them are good custodians: they talk to local farmers, landowners and councils about planting for pollinators and protecting the habitats their bees depend on. We're proud of them, which is why they're the star of the label.

A note on crystallisation

Our honeys will naturally crystalise as the glucose knits around all the pollen grains in it. This is a good sign as it means there's lots of pollen in the honey and it's enzymes are still active ('supermarket' honey is fine filtered and pasteurised to keep it runny for as long as possible). 

To bring it back to runny, warm it gently to no more than 35°C — the temperature inside a hive — using a low oven, sunny windowsill, or radiator. Stirring works too. Every honey crystallises at a different rate and in a different way, determined by the nectars that made it.

One thing worth knowing

We work hard to send as much variety as possible, and it's rare to receive the same honey twice in a year. But beekeeping depends on the weather, and if the harvest is poor we'll sometimes need to send a small batch honey you've had before. It doesn't happen often — and it's never a bad honey!
